About me
I am Lishuo Pan, a PhD student in the ACT Lab of Brown University. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Nora Ayanian.
Prior to Brown, I was an MS student in the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Computer Science and Robotics, co-advised by Prof. M. Ani Hsieh and Prof. Jianbo Shi.
Prior to UPenn, I obtained my BS with First-Class Honors from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, with a major in Statistics. During my time at CUHK, I did research under Prof. Feng Yin and Prof. Zhi-Quan Luo.
